I have said plenty of times that I was going to get shirts made up. I finally did! And good ol’ Logan Thompson happened to be the first to try one on. I haven’t even worn one yet… Lucky punk.

Anyways, several of the shirts have gone out in the mail to people already, and more will be going out on Monday.  I’ll be holding contests for the rest of the shirts and maybe I’ll print up another batch for ASE!

Anyways, Thank you guys for keeping Cashtactics alive and being apart of our great community.  We really appreciate all of your comments and for helping out in the members forum.

Not that anyone cares… but here is a little run down of what I like to see or receive from an affiliate/CPA network. This is just my biased opinion and in all honesty I’m sure you will agree with some of these and there are some you might not agree with. Please leave a comment at the bottom and let me know what other things you like to see from your CPA networks.

• I like to see my stats… Now this is an obvious… But I mean I like to see them right when I log in.  A nice graphical image or just the raw numbers.  When I log in I don’t want to hunt around for my stats I just want them to be there.
• I like to see the hot offers.  Maybe even some additional information for those offers (payout, epc, conversion rate).  If I know something converts for someone out there, then I can make it convert for me. Seeing what offers are hot is ESSENTIAL in time saving! Even if I don’t want to run in a specific niche I still like to take a look at whats hot.
• I like to see a list of new offers. Some of my best converters have been new offers to a network.  Most networks aren’t going to add any old offer.  Chances are they are going to add offers that they feel will convert or offers that another affiliate has requested because they made a profit with it from another network.  New offers can be little gold mines!

Hey guys. This is something I want to start doing on a monthly basis. I think its always good to reflect on how the month went. At the end of each month I would like to take sometime to post the top 5 most read posts during the month. This is excluding the members forum and will only show actual blog posts from Cashtactics. So here we go…

• Affiliate Themes.net From UBD!- This was posted back in March… Apparently people are Googling the term cause it’s bringing in traffic. This was a post written up to explain a little about affiliatethemes.net. Jump on over and check out the video if you haven’t already.
• Making Money With Torrents And P2P Networks – Some General Tips

- This thread has been around since 2007. However, it has been in the top 10 since. This is basically giving tips on making money with torrents. A must watch if you are a torrent advertiser. Remember though. Torrents are not an accepted source of traffic for your CPA offers. That being said. They are still an excellent source of traffic. I recommend this video to anyone. Watch the whole thing. If it doesn’t load the first time just refresh the page. Towards the middle there is a pretty big torrent traffic tip!

• Response: Adding CJ Products To Kaboodle- Ruck took some time to explain placing Commission Junction products on Kaboodle. There is big money here! This video is another oldie but goodie. . If it doesn’t load… Refresh the page. These vids are hosted here and not anywhere else.

Sorry guys… Nothing special about this post. This is in response to the emails and instant messages. It’s just a video of how to find your CD number in the Direct Track networks.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give a little update on what is going on in the Cashtactics world.

First off we have our second Meetup202 going on tomorrow at 11:00 am.  If you are in the DFW area and want to join us for a little networking then please feel free to stop by.  Here is the link to the meetup.com group so you can find out where we are eating, what we are doing, and who else is going! >>CLICK HERE<<

Cashtactics.net t-shirts have been made and sent off to the printers.  This has actually been in the process for a long time now and I just need to get to the phone and call them with the sizes that I need. The shirt was originally designed a few months back and due to some busy schedule I have had I just never got it to a printer.  Well the design is now at the printer and just needs a phone call from me to say DO IT. I changed the design colors so I could drop this on a black shirt.  I’ve played around with a few colors and this looks the best.  A white shirt looks good to but just reminds me of a plain old “T”. Here is a pic of the shirt for those of you who haven’t seen this yet.

BAM… I know… it’s sexy don’t lie.

If you have been one to make the rounds to the different marketing blogs then you will have no doubt seen that Unique Blog Designs has been hard at work for other bloggers. Today (March 17th) UBD has launched an affiliate marketing product for WordPress that will blow your mind!

This product is for Affiliate Marketers and more specifically for those affiliate marketers that like to use wordpress for LPs and Review style LPs. Take a look at their promo video:

Is that not the koolest WordPress tool you have ever seen! Now don’t get me wrong… This isn’t for those affiliates that can make their own pages and designs. If you can do it on your own then I suggest you do it on your own. But everyday I get asked from affiliates who they can out source design and coding too. A lot of the readers here are new to affiliate marketing and don’t know how to layout div tags or even basic HTML. This tool will solve that problem.

Here is a screen shot of my favorite part of this tool:

Do you see that? You have complete control over the layout! Complete control over how your review site will look!

Now if you ask me I would suggest getting the middle package. That way you have a license to use this on multiple domains. If however, you aren’t comfortable messing with html and designs then go with the largest package. There are over 30+ designs filled with a whole slew of layouts for review style landing pages. The only thing you have to do is configure the look by selecting drop down boxes and then add your content!

So my buddy Wes from Tracking202Pro asked me in ASW if I would start a meetup group and become apart of his Meetup202 movement. I had already considered it and finally decided to do it. If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and would like to get to network with Super Affiliates, up and coming affiliates or complete new to affiliate and internet marketing. Check out our first Meetup that is scheduled this coming saturday at none other than Fuddruckers! To check out more details of our event, what we will be doing and exactly where it will be held, visit…. DFW Internet Marketing

Stay tuned for more juicy tips and strategies to be posted this week!

Would I be where I am today if I had not attended the Affiliate Summit in Boston back in August of 2007? Probably not and there is no way of describing the growth I’ve seen in my own business since that time. What were my expectations of attending ASW 09 in Vegas, other than it being in Vegas? Honestly, I didn’t really have any expectations, my main purpose of attending was to refresh and continue to build the business relationships/friendships that I had begun in Boston. I get energized and always come back with new ideas with all conferences I go to, even those not related to affiliate or internet marketing. The point is, in business you can only go so far without having business contacts. How did I find a mentor/person to ask my questions to? I definitely wasn’t able to afford one in the beginning, so I made as many friends as I possibly could. Friends help friends. Maybe I’ll write a post sometime in the future on how to go about making friends with other affiliate marketers while not seeming to be a blood thirsty, question asking Newb.
